A foreign city, dear you

Neither of us dared to express our anger!

Fortunately, I probably didn't find it. He is on the other side of the bridge, with his back to us.

He just stopped there and we couldn't see clearly what he was doing or what he was going to do.

Damn it! A few mosquitoes bit me hard on my thighs, which was painful and itchy! My right hand moved instinctively, wanting to slap them and end their lives!

But how dare I! I will endure! Tolerate! "A little impatience leads to a big plan." Those dead mosquitoes took advantage of me and sucked my blood without any scruples!

There was a "squeaking" sound, and then there was the sound of running water, followed by a hot smell of urine in the air, and I unconsciously covered my nose.

It turned out that the man was urinating at night. After he had solved his urgent need to urinate, he hurriedly left the bridge hole and chased his team.

The footsteps outside faded away.

We breathed another sigh of relief.

I can finally make mosquitoes repay their debt with blood!

I raised my palm high and "pop" and "pop" like lightning, and the nasty little mosquito died. I could feel the mucus on my palms and knew it was my blood.

How unreasonable! When people are down, even mosquitoes are more rampant than usual.

As soon as my slap fell, I heard Xiao Maobing hitting the mosquitoes with a "slap" and saying, "You bit me to death. I want to take revenge and let you die without a burial place!"

Hearing his gnashing of teeth, I couldn't hold back my joy again. Xiao Maobing also laughed softly.

There were tears in the corners of Ye Lian's eyes, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you for being able to laugh. Then what? Then everything will be fine, right?"

Cao Xueqian took another sip of water and continued:

Yes, we are scared, sad and funny.

We don't know if the danger has passed, but we don't dare to lie down anymore.

We were worried that those people would come back, but for a long time, it was quiet outside. We slowly felt relieved.

"Were they really fighting for territory?" I asked Xiao Maobing.

"looks like."

"It's really dangerous tonight."

"Yeah, it's not easy to get free bridges."

"I wonder if we will be able to find a place tomorrow. Otherwise, where can we spend the night?"

Serious topic. Xiao Maobing did not answer.

I didn't say a word. I scratched the itchy places on my body that were bitten by mosquitoes. Many places were covered in blisters.

In this way, we were sometimes silent, sometimes chatting a few words, and sat until dawn.

This was the most desolate, desolate and thrilling night in my life. Fortunately, I had Xiao Maobing by my side, otherwise I would have been lonely, scared and miserable.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as an absolute path.

The next day, by chance and luck, the two of us entered the lighting factory together.

Because of the shared adversity that night, we became the best friends. We looked after each other and encouraged each other. We worked diligently in our respective positions and never dared to resign easily again.

Later, Zhao Dongping came to see me, and I made up my mind to come to Yancheng with Zhao Dongping.

When I left the lighting factory, Xiao Maobing happened to take two days off. It was not convenient to contact him at that time, so we cut off contact.

"Who are those people?" Ye Lian was very curious.

"I don't know." Cao Xueqian shook his head: "At dawn the next day, everything was calm, as if nothing happened that night."

Ye Lian grabbed Cao Xueqian's hand and put it on her face.

Cao Xueqian's story has been told, but she is still immersed in the dark bridge, and her mood cannot be calm for a while.

During the days when Cao Xueqian was wandering alone outside, he always said on the phone that he was doing well outside, where he went, and what interesting things he encountered. He never mentioned his difficulties and sorrow to her.

Unexpectedly, he was so poor that he slept in a bridge cave...

Ye Lian's heart was filled with distress.

"Why don't you speak?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"I didn't expect you to suffer so much outside." Ye Lian leaned into Cao Xueqian's arms, as if to provide him with some warmth.

"It's normal. How many people are easy going out there?" As time passed, Cao Xueqian downplayed it and comforted Ye Lian.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me send you money?" Ye Lian couldn't help but blame.

"Please understand a man's self-esteem and stubbornness." Cao Xueqian hugged Ye Lian and smiled.

"But I'm so sad. When you were in the most difficult time, I didn't help you or be by your side." Ye Lian still blamed herself.

"Don't," Cao Xueqian said quickly, "If you were by my side that night, I would be even more worried and scared. As a girl, if you are discovered by those people with unknown origins, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But, then again, if you were by my side, I would never live in a bridge under any circumstances." Cao Xueqian held Ye Lian's hand and added.

"Now I know why you were so happy to meet Xiao Maobing in Yancheng." Ye Lian said.

"Yeah, I'm very happy. Yesterday we went to a mold factory and saw a man who looked very much like Xiao Maobing. At first I couldn't believe it was him. I walked over to take a look, and it was really him. You said you were happy Not happy? Maybe this is fate? "

"And you invited him to your home?"

"Yeah, it's not convenient to talk in the mold factory, so of course I invited him to my home. His salary in the mold factory has increased very slowly, and I want to take him to Lijin Company."

"You really think about him."

"Of course," Cao Xueqian nodded: "I will never forget what happened that night. I have already regarded him as a close friend. Of course I can help if I can. Besides, the company just needs people. And his family is also very poor. I I hope he can live a better life with a higher salary."

"I would know even if you didn't say he was poor, otherwise he wouldn't sleep in a bridge cave with you."

"Yeah. It's really hard for poor people to work outside."

"Which one of you two is older?" Ye Lian asked.

"Almost, he should be a month younger than me."

"I thought he was older than you."

"Really? They are almost the same, so you can't tell."

"You are similar in age, but he always calls you 'Brother Cao'."

"That's how he is, very sweet and polite."

"Is your company really going to build a new team?"

"Yes, it will be after the year. Manager Su may be promoted to director. The new team will be led by Cheng Yufei and I, and the company will rearrange our positions."

"What do you mean? Are you about to be promoted?" Ye Lian's eyebrows immediately showed joy.

"That's almost it. I've heard the rumor, but I haven't finalized it yet."

"That's great!" Ye Lian suddenly kissed Cao Xueqian on the face.

"Ouyou, are we kissing now?" Cao Xueqian was flattered: "This is so beautiful to me. But if it doesn't work out, then wouldn't the kiss be in vain?"

"Don't be afraid of free kisses." Ye Lian was very generous now and did not be stingy with her "kisses."

"Our house will be renovated after the new year. If I really have to lead a team, the work will be very busy, and you will have to work hard for the decoration."

"Then what should I do? I don't understand. It's not that I'm afraid of hard work." Ye Lian's eyebrows looked worried again.

"Don't be afraid." Cao Xueqian patted Ye Lian on the head, as if she was still a child: "If you don't understand, you can call me and ask me. Besides, I will arrange the decoration masters."

"Okay." Ye Lian reluctantly said.

Although I worry that I don’t know how to decorate, decorating my own house is a happy thing after all. That's my own little nest.

But if you bite the bullet and go into battle, will you make a lot of jokes?
